The Bird Feeder Digital Download is a file I have been wanting to make for a while. My little bear (2 year old daughter) is fascinated by birds of late and I thought this would help keep her wide eyed for a bit longer.

This is what it looks like.

I have had a few varieties of birds approach it so far. The Eastern Bluebirds are wary but I am hoping they’ll come around.

Assembly is really easy.

Some details

This file was made for wood supplied from https://amzn.to/3oyG8Xq #ad. When I do, my cuts interlock best when I design for a material thickness of .115 inches.

I tried a new tape this time too. It is from here https://amzn.to/3Nt9d0E #ad. I will have to use this a few more times before I can get a real review for you but so far I like it. I will say, It does NOT adhere as well as other products and that is partially what I like about it. It does the job of preventing smoke and burn marks and then comes right off.


Some dimensions

The material thickness this is dimensioned for is 1/8 inch (.125) and it works great. There is also a file for .115 inches which is what I used and the press fit was so good I didn’t need to use glue. Reach out to me if you need it adjusted though and I will do what I can. The dimensions for this can only be adjusted so much because of the nature of the design but I always do what I can for people.

The entire design is 11 inches tall, 6.75 wide, and 6.75 deep thick.

I will be using my batch conversion trick to turn all of my SVG’s into PNG and PDF’s on this file. If you haven’t learned the trick, its a real time saver. Take a look here.

This will require a few pieces, I can’t remember exactly, of standard 12X20 inch laser sheets with some leftover.
